Height and Distance solution image $\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{AC}=30 \text { meter } \\ \mathrm{AB}=15 \text { meter } \\ \angle \mathrm{ACB}=\theta \\ \therefore \sin \theta=\frac{A B}{A C}=\frac{15}{30}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \sin \theta=\sin 30^{\circ} \\ \Rightarrow \theta=30^{\circ} \end{array}$
